g 1 Claim. (Cl. 131-194) The present invention relates to new and usefultion 3 of the bowl I. As illustrated to advantage improvements insmoking pipes and has for its primary object to provide, in a manner ashereinafter set forth, a devlce of this character comprising a bowl ofnovel construction for dissipating heat, whereby a comparatively coolsmoke may be had.

Other objects of the invention are to provide a smoking pipe of theaforementioned character which will be comparatively simple inconstruction, strong, durable, light in weight, attractive in appearanceand which may be manufactured at low cost.

All of the foregoing and still further objects and advantages or theinvention will become apparent from a study of the followingspecification, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing whereinlike characters of reference designate corresponding parts throughoutthe several views,-

tegral stem 2. The bowl I includes an externally reduced upper portion 3providing a horizontal, circumferential shoulder 4.

Mounted on the externally reduced portion 3 of the bowl I is a sleeve Iof suitable material, preferably aluminum. On its upper and, the sleeve5 terminates in an inturned flange 8 which is seated on the upper end ofthe bowl I.

are engaged in the lower end portion of the sleeve 5 for positivelysecuring said sleeve against rotation on said bowl. Formed integrallywith the sleeve 5 are heat dissipating fins 8.

The sleeve 5 is adhesively secured on the por- Dowel plus I rise fromthe shoulder 4 in the bowl Land in Figure 2 of the drawing, the reducedportion. 3

of the bowl I has formed therein a multiplicity of minute perforations,or passages 5.

It is thought that the manner in which the invention functions will bereadily apparent from a consideration of the foregoing. Briefly, the tobacco in the bowl I burns in the usual manner and said bowl becomesheated, the heat is absorbed by the aluminum sleeve 5' and rapidly thefins 8. The perforations or passages 9 assist in the conduction of theheat from the interior oi, the bowl I to the sleeve 5. The perforations9 are drilled or otherwise formed in the bowl after the sleeve 5 hasbeen adhesively secured in position to prevent the adhesive from closingor obstructing said perforations. In addition to providing a cool smoke,the construction and arrangement is such as to render the pipecomparatively light, the portion 3 of the bowl I being just thick enoughto provide what may be considered a lining.

It is believed that the many advantages of a smoking pipe constructed inaccordance with the present invention will be readily understood andalthough a preferred embodiment of the device is as illustrated anddescribed, it is to be understood that changes in the details ofconstruction may be resorted to which will fall within the scope of theinvention as claimed.

What is claimed is.

A smoking pipe of the character described comprising a bowl, a stemprojecting from the bowl. said bowl including an externally reducedportion having a multiplicity of perforations therein, said reducedportion providing a horizontal, circumferential shoulder on the bowl, asleeve of heat conducting material mounted on the perforated portion ofthe bowl and having one end engaged with the shoulder, dowel pins in thebowl pro jecting from the shoulder and engaged in said one end of thesleeve, an inturned flange on the other end of the sleeve engaged withthe top of the bowl, and heat dissipating fins on the sleeve.
